I love this restaurant! They have a beautiful, heated patio. It has a waterfall and is just so pretty. They often have live music too. The food is a little pricey, but delicious. Their margaritas are really good. My favorite is the mango mojito.

I went here last night for dinner with some old friends. I have to put a disclaimer that I am not a big Mexican food fan. Thus I ordered the 'original Tijuanna Caesar salad' with an add on of grilled shrimp. You can't go wrong with a caesar salad, right? Well, apparently you can. The salad was a pile of romaine, skewered through the center with a large wooden skewer. Not a bad presentation. The shrimp were tiny little shrimp, some of which tasted of cleaning solution. The dressing did not taste homemade and the parmesan, rather than being flakes of yummy goodness, was dry packaged, pre-grated variety. The croutons were ok. I had a glass of cabarnet with dinner. It was mediocre. The service was friendly, but very slow and erratic. The decor of the restaurant was lovely, lots of flowers by a fountain, and heaters to keep us warm (I don't know if they have any inside seating at all.) I asked for a cup of decaf after dinner and after a while the waitress came back and said they were 'out of it'. I guess they don't know how to make another pot?? My friends seemed to be satisfied with their food (mexican platters) but I did not hear anyone say it was good, seemed mediocre. I do not plan on returning.

You want to be near a fire place or heat lamp in the winter. If you don't get a good spot, load up on their delicious Margarettias! They are big and wonderful. Good chips, too. Our server was not well versed on the menu but I think he was new to the job. All in all, a good experience and I would go back.

The whole restaurant is outside on the grounds of a beautiful old hacienda. Fabulous cocktails and great ambience make this place perfect for a date night. The menu is varied and quite interesting. Firepits warm guests close to the bar area as they wait for a table. There are private tented sitting areas for large groups off the bar area.

Hacienda de Vega has the best food and the best atmosphere of any restaurant serving Mexican food in the San Diego area. The restaurant is basically all outdoors with heaters that are used in cool weather or in the evening. Everything we have tried here from the carnitas, to the salads, and appetizers are excellent. We have dined here with friends who were visiting from Europe as well as other places in the US and everyone who has been here with us has been delighted with the food and the atmosphere. This is a place to return to again and again.
